Re: Frontstep and MAPICS - what's our impact? (and anyone usingthelatest CUM?)

I just installed 4140 for a customer going from R5.5 to R6.0.. We have not 
started to do any testing yet. Another couple of weeks before we are ready.. 
Needed some ptf's for the G/L enhancement.. I like the way this update works... 
Nothing else at this point in time..

I read the press release and the Forrester report. I found the Forrester
report to be somewhat confusing - they said that MAPICS was the best, but
mostly talked about Oracle, PeopleSoft, JDE, and SAP. I think it was
poorly written. MAPICS wasn't even on some of the charts!

The press release said there would be about 250 positions eliminated
between the two companies (if I understood it correctly). I wonder who
will get hit the worst? I also wonder what impact this will have on R7?
I'm still waiting on this to be completed - we are in the process of
preparing for the complete conversion from green screen to Browser (we're
using a phased approach, replacing green screens with thin clients and PCs
where either is best suited). Overall, we like Browser - EPDM especially
has been terrific for us, and OBPM/MM is going over well, but it's going to
take a while to get everyone trained and used to the new technology. And
it keeps being delayed (waiting on CSM and Integrator, still).

===============================

I also have the latest CUM CD (SH14724, PTF 4140) - has anyone installed it
yet? I'm quite stable at PTF 3196, not encountering any problems (that I
have detected).
